History
Why Is Theodore H. Von Laue Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Theodore H. Von Laue was an American historian and professor emeritus of history at Clark University. He was a winner of Guggenheim Fellowship . After having studied at the University of Freiburg, Germany, in 1937 Von Laue was sent to Princeton University by his father Max von Laue, who did not want him to grow up "in a country run by gangsters". He finished his studies with a PhD about the social legislation of Otto von Bismarck. He then taught at Swarthmore College, the University of California, Riverside, and the Washington University in St. Louis, when he finally became professor of European History at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts. He was there from 1970 until his retirement in 1982. In the epitaph of the Clark University he is described as modest, humorous. Not many knew that he was a Quaker, co-initiated the anti-war-movement at Washington University in St. Louis and joined Martin Luther King Jr. in the Selma to Montgomery marches.
